Start a Career in Healthcare
Now’s the time to start training for a career in healthcare. The opportunities in healthcare are bountiful and in-demand. Choose between a State Tested Nurse’s Assistant (STNA) track or Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA).
Both courses lead to a State License allowing you to have flexibility in job options within the state of Ohio. You can end your training here or continue with one of our partner training providers and become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), or Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC II). We will work hard to make this happen debt-free.
STNA

Finish our 4-week course, then bridge to a program with one of our partner education providers to become an LPN, RN, Surgical Tech, etc.
